Re: Smooth and enduring - ever get some of that sand in your shorts// often people you enjoy and admire can provide that same feeling; re: a bunch: that 29th day in February can set the earth off its access but only when we forget it, "T" Here at Home, WT, Calgary

Somehow, I didn't receive the musings on March 19th, nor 20th. Please put my name back on the list, thank you, SWT,?

Molehills do become mountains if left to fester. You should speak up (as diplomatically as possible) if something bothers you or hurts you. Sometimes, people don’t even realize that they’re doing it and it’s up to you to set them straight. If it doesn’t work out, at least you’ve spoken your mind and usually when a person does that, they don’t harbor resentment. Resentment – bad for the health. Hugs, SF, Calgary

Re: Smooth and enduring - A beautiful thought, the oyster coating the unwelcome intruder with beautiful material. How much better would it be if we would also, when confronted with something we don't want, either reject it outright or embrace it and create something wonderful, like an improvement of our personality and understanding; re: a bunch - I read your musings every day (except yesterday when I didn't get one). As for today, I might comment that a life as a butterfly would be beautiful but brief....I know little more than that about it. I'm glad that four years ago you decided to continue with Musings, since if you hadn't I would not have had the pleasure. And it is a valuable learning experience, both in added understanding and practice in expression. The first day of Spring varies from the 20th to the 22nd. EG, Calgary

I've missed your Musings the last two days. I'm not sure if I was removed by accident but I'd like to be added back! I thoroughly enjoy the Musings. Take care, KG, ?

Easter this year is: Sunday March 23, 2008- As you may know, Easter is always the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox (which is March 20 this year). This dating of Easter is based on the lunar calendar that Hebrew people used to identify Passover, which is why it moves around on our Roman calendar. Found out a couple of things you might be interested in! Based on the above, Easter can actually be one day earlier (March 22) but that is rare. This year is the earliest Easter any of us will ever see the rest of our lives! And only the most elderly of our population have ever seen it this early (95 years old or above!). And none of us have ever, or will ever, see it a day earlier! Here's the facts: The next time Easter will be this early (March 23) will be the year 2228 (22 0 years from now). The last time it was this early was 1913 (so if you're 95 or older, you are the only ones that were around for that!). The next time it will be a day earlier, March 22, will be in the year 2285 (277 years from now). The last time it was on March 22 was 1818. So, no one alive today has or will ever see it any earlier than this year! So Have a Wonderful Easter 2008!!!, LMT, ?

This shouldn’t be a high priority for you while you are rebuilding your mail list, but as of yesterday, your musings are full of this symbol �, from arial unicorn MS. It appears wherever you used quotes or comma or apostrophe. Somewhat disconcerting to read, but your words are worth the effort. Happy Spring! AR, Calgary
